With over 140 original costumes in this show, it's hard to know where to start! In addition, these costumes appear in several different settings. We have a Scandinavian town in the mid-1800's, a summer garden, a royal palace, an encampment belonging to a large clan of robbers, and an ice palace. There are so many parts in this show. We have townspeople, robbers, ice maidens, doves, flowers, fairies, angels, soldiers and more. Not to mention the princess, her prince, a reindeer, a raven, and the Snow Queen herself.
Our costumers have literally and virtually travelled the world to gather the elements needed to create the looks required. We have dresses from France, skirts from India, and fabric and trim purchased in Manhattan as well as in local stores.
So, without further adieu, and without revealing too much advance, it is time for a little costuming sneak peek!
